As part of the Loma Linda University Health Education Consortium (LLUHEC), our program aims to train clinically excellent, compassionate, and inquisitive specialists in geriatric medicine. Our fellows recognize the importance and effect of a whole person approach to patient care.

Program Highlights

  • You'll receive the tools needed to manage all older adults with diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.
  • We cultivate future board-certified geriatric medicine physician leaders who innovate in education, systems improvement, and research. Our graduates aim to elevate quality of care for older adults while maintaining patient dignity and independence.
  • You’ll serve patients in a unique Blue Zone® setting, increasing access to geriatric medicine specialists for patients with higher-than-average life expectancy.
